Lol gonna get swept by memphis
http://espn.go.com/nba/playoffs/2015...phis-grizzliesThe Portland Trail Blazers had a laminated card in their locker room at the FedExForum on Sunday that included the phrase "We don't lose to Spanish players."
The Memphis Grizzlies, the Trail Blazers' opponent in their Western Conference first-round series, feature one of the NBA's most prominent Spanish players, All-Star center Marc Gasol.
Gasol, who was born in Barcelona, responded to the comment Monday. "I don't know where it comes from, and I don't know what it means," Gasol said after practice, according to The Oregonian. "I have better things to think about than what they're writing on the wall. They've had Spanish players on their team in the past. I can think of three in the recent past. I don't know and I don't care."
"First of all, that wasn't the only thing that was on that [card]," Trail Blazers coach Terry Stotts said Monday, a day after his team's 100-86 Game 1 loss to the Grizzlies.
"I wouldn't classify that as the only message of the day. But that being said, it was a motivational thing, and I think the Spanish thing was a little lighthearted. It was the things we needed to do to win the series."
Hopefully they also hung a sign at Lollard's locker saying "we don't get anally devastated by Slovenian players."

Lol gonna get swept by memphis
I don't get it..what's the back story? They just randomly decided to go with "We don't lose to Spanish players" or what?
What a ty franchise, tbh
Portland will win at least 1 game at home, tbh.
By the same guys who drafted Spanish Manu. tsk tsk
Manu is An Argie and they're more close to their Italian roots
Didn't that loser Rudy Fernandez play on the Blazers?
Sergio Rodriguez too, and that Martin guy in the 80s.
tlongII was just viewing this thread....
Guess he had nothing to say. Probably just another non-issue.
Fernando Martin.
They also drafted Victor Claver and had Sergio Rodriguez in their roster
That's right, and I forgot about Claver too.
More reason to bet MEM-6.
The same Spanish team player that was making the eyes?
One of the Lopez s play on there, too amirite?
He gets quiet anyways around this time of year.
The Lopez brothers are Cuban, so it's fineOne of the Lopez s play on there, too amirite?

Beno is not from Spain.
After that Game 1 performance, he has been naturalized and has been integrated to the Basque autonomous community. Rumour is that his new name is now Beño
